As we prepare for the busy holiday season, we just wanted to send happy holiday wishes to all our friends and family. The holidays feel different this year for me. I don't know if it is because we are getting older and wiser or if there is some other reason. But it means more to Jay and I to be with those we love this holiday season than ever before. Caden is bringing so much excitement into our home during this time. And somehow I don't seem worried about all the stress that comes along with Christmas usually...shopping, cooking, paying bills, etc.
I guess that I feel more at peace this year, and I can really feel God working in our lives. Caden will be a lamb in our church Christmas Pageant this weekend, and we are very excited to see him up there, even if all he has to do is say "Baaa." We are truly blessed by our beautiful children and all the happiness we find in each other each day. It is all about the little moments.
Christmas this year will be special, because Jason's grandmother, Frannie, has been sick for a while and it could possibly be our last Christmas with her. We are looking forward to sharing some happy memories with her before her time is up here on Earth. My dad had a pacemaker put in just before Thanksgiving and the realization that our parents aren't getting any younger is scary.
So I guess my message to everyone is: Live each day to the fullest. You never know what the future will hold or what surprises may be brought to you. Hold onto each day and live as if it were your last. Don't forget to count your blessings and be thankful for what you have. I hope that you all find peace within and many blessings this holiday season. May God bless you all.
